Lyrics

Still Alive

Like a thunder storm it’s breaking out
Won’t take another blow, and,
I’ll let you know
I’ll never kneel or falter
‘cause you are not the only
I’m not crawling back again

I’m still alive
Though I’m old, trite and weary
And I know I’m alive enough
To stand my ground
So there is nothing to revive –
I’m still alive

I tried to wash away those filthy lies
Betrayed and lead astray,
I just walked away
In my darkest hour
I still hear you breathing
Well, you won’t get the best of me​

 

[Death Animal]

Yeah Great song
But yeah .n,.ho

Cool song...I allways pictured "Noctural Rites" as a Black Metal band, the band name sounds pretty "black"..

 

[Death Animal]

^^ I was just thinking same

 

[Wyvern]

I discovered NR long time ago by the time of their debut actually, but I never got into them just scattered songs, being 'Wake Up Dead' (from "Afterlife") my favorite.

NP: World Below - 'Ancient Rites Of The Black Cult'

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

I thought they were death metal too, or some version of hardcore. I never paid much attention to them. That song was pretty good though. I'd check into them if they were consistently that good.

I ordered the CD, I'll post a review!

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

And if you can schedule it, I'll be seeing you in June. I'd like a listen.

I got the CD in the mail while I was on vacation last week and I have been listening to it over and over and I have to say that these guys are one excellent band!

June should be fine let me know as soon as you can about an aproximate date.

NP: Nocturnal Rites - Grand Illusion

+1 on that....awesome!

 

[Fangface]

The last NR is head and shoulders above the previous one IMO, if you like it also check Shadowland

The first 3 albums featuring the previous singer are more Helloween/Maiden-influenced and sound less modern, The Sacred Talisman being a noteworthy record.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

This sounds like Bon Jovi. The first two albums are the best, by trillions of miles.

This sounds like Bon Jovi.

Please expound on this. I am interested in why you think so.
